· It is permissible for on-campus delivery and/or receipt of an NLI during an official or unofficial visit provided it is not a recruiting dead period and all other applicable NCAA rules are followed.
· The NLI may be delivered and/or received by express mail, courier service, regular mail, fax or e-mail.
